Feed My Starving Children Ithaca MobilePack

THE STORY:

Feed My Starving Children is a not-for-profit Christian-based organization out of Minnesota (see www.FMSC.org). Their goal is to help some of the most acutely impoverished children in the world. They serve over 60 countries. 94% of the funding they receive goes towards the food production and 6% is used for administration. For the Ithaca MobilePack event, 100% of the financial help goes directly towards the food packed.

Feed My Starving Children operates four full-time food packaging facilities in the Midwest. In addition, for big community events (100,000 meals or larger), they offer the opportunity for people to participate in what they call "MobilePack" events. During these events people take bulk, nutritionally balanced food of four types (rice, vegetables, soy, and vitamins) and combine them into smaller meal packets. These packets are then boxed and shipped to villages, where agencies distribute the food for at least one full year at the same location. Each meal currently costs $.19 to pack (the Ithaca event contracted for $.17 a meal last year).

We are proud to be a part of Stephen's work to raise money for Feed My Starving Children. I am SO proud of Stephen and his heart for the hungry children in the world--and there are way too many children with empty tummies. God bless your work and also your heart!
